However, the couple will still hold their reception at the Durham County Cricket Club, while Jessie J performs on the cricket ground as part of the 'Durham Summer Nights' event.

The wedding party will be able to watch the show from the balcony of the club, which overlooks the stage, reports the Durham Chronicle.

Slater said: "When they got us in they said another department had booked the concert and it's the same day as the wedding. We weren't very happy about it at first, but when we found out it was Jessie J we perked up a bit. In fact, we were ecstatic."

Jessie J stated that she hopes to find time to meet the pair, and may even be able to perform their first dance song.

She said: "I can't wait to be part of Sam and Chris's big day, it's going to be a really special gig and I am very excited about performing. Bring on the first dance!"
